Index, Nofollow Issue

[PrintEZ]

We are having on our site a couple of pages that we want the page to be indexed, however, we don't want the links on the page to be followed. For example url: http://www.printez.com/animal-personal-checks.html. We have added in our code: .

Bing Webmaster Tools, is telling us the following: The pages uses a meta robots tag. Review the value of the tag to see if you are not unintentionally blocking the page from being indexed (NOINDEX).

Question is, is the page using the right code as of now or do we need to do any changes in the code, if so, what should we use for them to index the page, but not to follow the links on the page?

Please advise,

Morris

You are using the correct code and have implemented it correctly.

I presume Bing is just displaying a default warning any time is detects NOFOLLOW

Basically with that tag you are nofollowing ALL links in that page, however, I am guessing you only want to nofollow those that go outside your site, right?

If that's the case, remove that robots tag and then add a rel="nofollow" to the link that you want to be nofollowed. Otherwise you are not flowing any pagerank to the other pages of your site linked in that page.

yes

That's a good point Federico, I didn't think to ask if they only wanted to nofollow external links.
